Forensic psychology is the application of psychological knowledge, principles and training within the legal system.

I provide the following assistance:

• Psychological evaluations, assessment and legal reports for:
• People injured in the workplace
• Victims of motor vehicle accidents
• Victims of crime
• People suffering from the effects of childhood trauma
• People who have been charged with an offence

The Benefits

For victims, psychological assessment can aid in gaining appropriate compensation. Or, if a person has been charged with an offence it can assist by giving the courts greater insight into the nature of the person and life circumstances which may have influenced or contributed to the offence occurring.

Treatment:

Adjusting to injury and trauma whether caused by an accident, an individual or group can be difficult. Trauma counselling helps you to resolve, and adjust to distressing experiences and facilitates a return to normal functioning. Counselling for long term or early childhood trauma opens new pathways to unleash potential and increase life satisfaction.

Recovery after trauma

Often there is a delayed reaction following a trauma. Symptoms may take months or occasionally years to surface and people can underestimate the impact of certain life events. Counselling can make the necessary links and assist with making appropriate associations and with processing the event. Post traumatic stress is basically a break down in the normal processing of distressing life experiences.
